Description

How do I find the maximum operating temperature of my Intel® Core™ Processor?

Resolution

The maximum operating temperature allowed is reported by temperature sensors. Instantaneous temperature may exceed this value for short durations. Note that the maximum observable temperature is configurable by system vendor and can be design specific.

This information is available on the Product Specification page.

Follow the steps below:

  1. Identify your Intel® Processor, or the processor you need to find the information for.
  2. Visit the product specification page.
  3. Enter the Intel processor number in the Search Intel.com field located upper-right corner.
  4. Click the processor's link on the search results page.
  5. Once you are on the processor specification page, click Specifications section.
  6. Click Package Specifications.
  7. Look up the value of the Max Operating Temperature or T-Junction.
